Intended use: For the quantitative determination of von Willebrand Factor Antigen (VWF:Ag) in human citrated plasma on ACL* Coagulation systems.
Principle: Latex particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. When a plasma containing VWF:Ag is mixed with the Latex Reagent and Reaction Buffer, the coated latex particles agglutinate. The degree of agglutination is directly proportional to the concentration of VWF:Ag in the sample and is determined by measuring the decrease of transmitted light caused by the aggregates.
Vials and volumes:
- 2 x 3 mL Latex Reagent (liq)
- 2 x 4 mL Reaction Buffer (liq)
